Cameron’s dad Harold Truesdale told how the day his son was diagnosed with the incurable brain tumour was the worst day of his life.

The dad explained how Cameron’s mum, who he has been separated from for the last seven years, phoned him to say she had been talking to the GP who had immediately sent his son to the hospital, so he went to meet them there.

He told the Irish Independent: “I was sitting at the side of the ward waiting on the consultant to come back and tell me what was happening. He told Cameron to go play the X-Box and wanted to speak to us alone. My heart sank. The walk from the ward to the private room was the worst. I knew it wasn’t good news.

“His mummy and I have been separated for seven years but we collapsed into each other when the consultant told us that he had a rare brain tumour and couldn’t operate.

“Our whole lives went from 100 to zero in a heartbeat. Our whole word fell apart.”

Little Cameron’s parents have started a crowd funding campaign in a desperate bid to get him to a hospital in Mexico where he can undergo potentially life-saving treatment.
